How Kidney & Urology Funds Programs

The Kidney & Urology Foundation of America, Inc. could not provide its programs without the help and support of many people. As a nonprofit organization that receives no government funding, the Foundation relies on the contributions of individuals and its partnerships with corporations. The generosity and participation of people like you make the work of the Foundation possible.

To fundraise for our cause, KUFA runs several campaigns throughout the year.

LifeCars™is an ongoing program to support patient and professional programs. It’s a win-win situation where your car donation goes to help save a life and/or support someone afflicted with kidney or urologic disease.

WHAT CAN YOU DO? . . . GET INVOLVED!

Know the warning signs of kidney and urologic diseases and visit your doctor if you are suffering from these symptoms.

Have your blood pressure checked. If you have high blood pressure, follow your doctor's advice. It could make the difference.

If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, or are a relative of someone who has, you have an increased risk of kidney disease. If you are African American, Hispanic American or Native American, you also have an increased risk of prostate cancer. Find out what to do. Call the Kidney & Urology Foundation of America for information.

Exercise and maintain a healthy diet. Adult onset diabetes is a growing problem in the U.S. and is related to problems such as obesity, poor diet and lack of exercise.

Avoid overuse of over-the-counter painkillers. If you have arthritis or some other chronic painful condition, discuss the use of painkillers with your doctor.

Become one of those special people who are concerned about the public’s health.
